Swedish Authorities legally recognising a Proof of Existence document on the Blockchain
Final supporters
The current system of third party verification when applied to legally
recognised documents such as those that the government and other central
authorities deal with regularly is currently time consuming and expensive. This
is largely due to the exorbitant fees involved, and the bureaucratic
process that facilitates the verification.
I propose an alternative to this outdated and inefficient method for
verifying important documents. By utilising the bitcoin Blockchain
technology it is now possible to achieve the same level of security and
recognition of the importance of a document as is currently available,
however it can now be done in a matter of minutes rather than months, at
a fraction of the cost.

btcdrak on reddit formulated a great proposal for how this might look practically. With a court case between you and I. You timestamp some art/photo that I use. You bring a copyright claim against me using your blockchain evidence. Get someone with a degree who understands this stuff to submit testimony as to why the timestamping thing is what it is and why it works based on their experience and training. It just needs to be accepted once by a court and you have your case law. It would then take an expert to somehow prove that timestamping in the blockchain was in fact unsound - which isnt gonna happen. Think of how DNA evidence entered the courts, it was exactly by this route.

bureaucracy in sweden is a joke honestly. this would save so much time for everyone involved and it just makes sense in 2016
